Vandalism Florida

Two Pinellas County abortion clinics were vandalized with a foul-smelling chemical that investigators said might be the same acid used in earlier clinic attacks in three other counties. Authorities said the chemical was poured through holes drilled in the doors of National Women's Health Services in Clearwater and Women's Health Center in St. Petersburg.

Reversing a six-year down trend, anti-Semitic vandalism increased 121% in California last year, more than anywhere else in the nation, according to the annual survey by the Anti-Defamation League of the B'nai B'rith. Most of the incidents occurred in Southern California. Los Angeles police blamed a number of the local incidents, which did not include any physical violence, on a small gang of "skinheads" in the San Fernando Valley and on subsequent copycat acts by others.
